REMOVED: Update schematic option from geographical annotation dialog due
to potential issues with incomplete and/or broken updates. Use "Update
Schematic from PCB" tool to update reference designation changes.
Forcing the footprint reference designator changes back to the schematic
without checking any other board changes in the schematic could leave the
schematic in a undefined state. The update schematic from board tool is
the correct method to sync any changes from the board.

It is still possible to move a pad independent of footprint through
the pad properties dialog. This is a much more conscious decision
than using the move tools.
ADDED: "Allow free pads" preference setting in pcbnew, default to off.
When enabled, allows moving unlocked pads independent of the footprint
(i.e. previous behaviour). When disabled (default), any attempt to move
a pad will move the parent footprint instead.
REMOVED: "Lock pads of newly added footprints" preference setting in
pcbnew. (Pad lock state is now loaded from the footprint definition)
CHANGED: There are now only two possible lock states for a footprint:
locked and unlocked. The lock state of the pads in the footprint is
now independent of the footprint lock state.
Also fixed a latent bug that would allow a pad to be moved when the
parent footprint was locked (see m_selectionTool->RequestSelection
lambdas in edit_tool.cpp)

Add a reset button that will only show up if the user
edits the JSON configuration for grids. This is a temporary
measure until we have a real grid editor GUI in V7.

You had to set the line width in the SVG export dialog in order to
change the displayed line width in the 3d viewer. The line width did
not affect the SVG export. Removing in favor of the Board design
settings for line widths
There is no guarantee DXF contains $INSUNIT to specify the units of the file as its optional.
This allows the user to specify the expected units via dropdown.
SolidWorks can definitely generate such unit lacking files as an example
This commit modifies PCBNEW_SETTINGS to add support for saving and
restoring the user's display origin transform settings. It also adds
support for converting these settings from the 5.x format to the
current format, for anyone who used the tech demo of this feature.
There are cases where you will want to keep vias that only connect to
one layer but still want to cleanup tracks. As distinct entities, they
are given their own checkboxes and actions

CHANGED: Cvpcb fpviewer and the pcbnew fpviewer no longer have an options dialog
ADDED: Add a side toolbar to the pcbnew footprint viewer (and the measure tool)
This also cleans up some of the settings structs in the viewers, since
it was somewhat confusing before.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/2205
* Consolidate the measure tool into one tool (this gives cvpcb
unit changing and snapping capabilities in its measure tool)
* Transition cvpcb to use actions for the sketch modes
* Replumb how magnetic items settings are stored and used
